3.Luxury Chitwan Jungle Safari Package (2Nights/3Days) Resort

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 16 reviews · 3 days · from $125

Spend two nights at a comfortable Chitwan resort with meals, a 3-plus-hour jeep safari, Rapti River canoe ride, jungle walks, birdwatching, Tharu village visit, elephant breeding center, and cultural dance. Manager Mr Yadav and guide Sameer help run the local program, while bus travel from Kathmandu or Pokhara keeps the price low.

“The activity overall was a very good experience. Once in Chetwan, rhe manager Mr Yadav and my guide Sameer were very welcoming, clear about the program and so very helpful. The lodge was nice. The downsides were the not so clear communication with the Kathmandu liaison and the 7hr drive from Ktm to Chitwan. I recommend the activity for people who like adventures, nature and wildlife.”
